Life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1 The First Arrival
America, Silicon Valley.

The sky turned fishbelly white, a ray of sunlight pierced through the mist and swayed over the city, and everything was shrouded in a layer of soft morning light.

The morning is quiet and elegant, like an ink landscape painting, without the slightest hustle and bustle.

Li Mu opened his eyes in a daze, still feeling drowsy.Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of me... Is it really in a TV series?

It's just that the body is still my own, but I don't know what role it came in.

Immediately, a wave of memory hit, and it took a long time to sort it out.

He is now Su Mingzhe, the boss of the Su family.After graduating from Tsinghua University, she went to study in the United States, and met the beautiful and intellectual Wu Fei, who was also an international student.

Buying a house, getting married, having children... It has been a full ten years since I went abroad.

Thinking of Wu Fei, a beautiful and tall figure suddenly appeared in his mind. He turned his head and took a look. He had already gotten up to prepare breakfast.

……

I lay quietly for a while, and carefully sorted out the current situation. In September 2017, it was similar to the real world but different.

The similarity lies in the overall framework and development direction of the world; the difference lies in the differences in many details.

It seems to be a paradoxical parallel world.

……

After thoroughly familiarizing himself with the situation, Li Mu took a deep breath, and followed his old habits to get dressed, get up, and wash up.

I came to the mirror in the bathroom again, and took a careful look at the familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Sigh lightly, let it be at ease when it comes!

It was also the first time he experienced such a wonderful thing.

At this time, a soft and magnetic voice sounded beside his ears: "Mingzhe, it's time for breakfast."

Li Mu was a little flustered, so he took a deep breath to calm down his nervousness.

"Understood, I'll go right away."

He stood there and took a deep breath for a while, adjusted his emotions, and his face regained his calmness, then he walked towards the restaurant with some trepidation.
Seeing him coming out, Wu Fei had a faint smile on her face.

"I asked you not to be busy so late yesterday. If you didn't listen, you got up late today. It's the same with your company. If you have any work that you can't finish in the company, you have to take it home."

"Well, what Feifei said is right, I will pay attention to it in the future." Li Mu said, but his eyes were a little straight.

What appeared in front of him was an elegant woman, wearing a delicate plain dress, a pair of soft flat shoes, and a fresh face without makeup.

As she said, she had already walked to the dining table, and lightly brushed her hair by her ears. Under the light of the morning light, her jade cheeks were dyed with a faint brilliance, and her delicate facial features exuded a sense of dignity and elegance.

This is my wife. When Li Mu realized this, he was a little stunned.In reality, as a young man who just graduated less than a year ago, he was severely beaten by the society. He has never experienced this before.

Although he tried his best to keep calm on his face, his heart was already overwhelmed.

Maybe it's an old couple, Wu Fei didn't care about the change in his expression at all, and just put the breakfast on her own.

Li Mu gradually calmed down his nervousness, and when he saw the rich breakfast on the table, he was in a daze again.

There was milk, a beautiful fruit plate, cheese on toasted toast, and fried eggs.

Li Mu took a deep breath, sat down quietly according to his usual habits, and began to eat breakfast and talk as little as possible.When you need to speak, just follow the memory and say a few words about the topic that you have talked about countless times.

Everything was calm and quiet, and Wu Fei was more focused on his daughter, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

With contact, more memory fragments flashed across his mind, allowing Li Mu to gradually bring into his current identity, becoming more and more familiar with this family and the woman in front of him, and his heart gradually calmed down.

……

After breakfast, before going to work, Li Mu gently hugged Wu Fei and kissed her white and delicate forehead according to his old habits.

Just looking at the intellectual and beautiful woman in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, my mind was a little blank, the hug was a little tight, and the kiss was a little long.

Then a big roll of the eyes arose, and after they parted, Wu Fei's spirits visibly improved a little, and the expression on her face became brighter.

Saying goodbye to Wu Fei, Li Mu drove to the company; Wu Fei also started the car and sent her daughter to the nursery.

When I arrived at the company, I greeted my colleagues as usual.

As soon as he arrived at the work station, Liu Feng, a well-informed Chinese colleague with a close relationship, came over with a mysterious expression on his face.

"Brother Su, have you heard that the company's financing failed again this time!"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and instantly found the memory about the company's financing.

"Haven't we been talking for more than three months, and it is said that there is great hope?"

Liu Feng spread his hands: "That's all the news released by the company, to stabilize investors and our employees."

"This year's VR market is too cold, and it is not sought after by capital at all. This is the second time that the company has started financing this year. The valuation has been lower and lower every time, and the negotiation has not yet been completed."

Having said that, he got closer and said mysteriously: "I heard Xiao Zhao from the human resources department say that the company has already prepared for a protracted war due to lack of funds in the future. In order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and maintain operations, it has quietly started Layoff plan."

"In the next one or two months, the list of layoffs will be officially finalized. It is said that the authority for layoffs this time will be delegated to the supervisor, and each department will have a few places. Many people have already started to work hard, and you have already prepared, and David walks around so he won't be on the layoff list."

Li Mu let out an "ah" at the right time, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Has it reached the point of layoffs?"

Liu Feng smiled wryly: "That's not true! However, you are so skilled, it is unlikely that you will be on the layoff list, so don't worry too much."

The two chatted for a while, and David, the head of the department, also came. Liu Feng and Li Mu blinked, and then left as if nothing had happened.

Looking at David, Li Mu had complicated thoughts. According to memory, the relationship between the two was not bad. Su Mingzhe was the technical backbone of the company, and his technical level was also among the best in the entire department.

And he is hard working, harmless to humans and animals, and there are not so many things to do.

From all perspectives, unless the company goes bankrupt, layoffs will never be his turn.If technical backbones like him are to be laid off, in the Silicon Valley of the Bay Area, the company's technical influence in the industry will be further reduced, and it will be even more difficult to raise funds.

However, in the future, David, the boss with a good relationship, changed his attitude drastically and put him on the layoff list by himself.

Is it really because you have returned to China for a few days during the critical period, or are there other reasons?

For example, Su Mingzhe, who was born as a graduate student at Stanford and is skilled in technology, will pose a threat to some people in the future under the background of the company's downsizing.

Workplace politics is very popular in every country, China is like this, and the United States is no exception.

I just hope it turns out to be less realistic and stark.

……

After greeting David casually, Li Mu retracted his thoughts.

The news of layoffs brought by Liu Feng, besides arousing some speculations in him, stirred up another thought in him.

Under the background of the company's layoffs, Su Mingzhe returned to China to deal with Su's mother's funeral, which is the beginning of the plot.

With the departure of the domineering mother Su, the selfish and uninitiated Su Daqiang, an old kid, completely let himself go and started various operations.

He is a cheating father, and he is a cheating child.

After 10 years abroad, Su Mingzhe started to be foolish and filial because of a debt in his heart; Su Mingcheng, who gnawed on the old all the year round, was not ashamed;

The family, under Su Daqiang, an old boy, let himself go, not only caused all kinds of troubles, but also exposed the problems accumulated in the family in the past.

It makes the already complicated family relationship even more contradictory.

During this time travel, the system issued several missions, none of which were mandatory, and it was completely free to choose whether to do it or not.

However, the higher the degree of task completion, the higher the gold content of the system rewards.If nothing is done, future rewards will be vain.

Li Mu looked at the system tasks.

Task [-]: Get to the bottom of it, and crack down on the unstable factors that transform the Su family.

Li Mu was speechless, you might as well just show the ID cards of Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng.

Task Two: Responsibility.

Make up for the lack of family in the past, be a good brother; maintain the relationship between husband and wife with Wu Fei, and be a good husband and father.

Task [-]: After so many years in foreign countries, I still get along well.Realize Su Mingzhe's desire to become famous and return to his hometown.

……

These tasks are not easy, and that one is very difficult for Li Mu now.

Only take one step at a time.

Work hard, boy!
